Thanks for the replies guys.
I'll be heading back to Mackay this afternoon and will drop into the local shop to have a look at what they have and see what they'd recommend for the money I have and what I want to use it for. They had a 12'' dobsonian at one point for a bit over $1,000 I'm pretty sure. Though I had no idea if this is at all compatible with my camera and a T mount. The photography part may have to wait for a bit as I just really want to get my hands on a scope.
Is astrophotography really that expensive to get into? I had a look at the Tropical Stargazers group. (: I do roster work and am only in Mackay 80% of the time, the other 20% is spent in Bowen sadly with nothing in the way of astronomy groups as far as I can tell.
Thanks midnight, Yeh I'll definitely be getting the best scope I can buy!
